Tonalité : Eb major
Verse 1
Ladies and gentlemen,
D
this next song is not really a pop song
Gm
D
in as much as it didn't
make the top 20
or anything like that,
but it was a song written for me,
I'm very happy to say, by one
F
gentleman
Em
whose name you've already heard,
Mr Don Black,
D
and his partner Mr Vic Lewis.
It's not, as I say, a pop song,
it's more a soliloquy,
Gm
in as much as that it tells
D
the story of a man
Gm
who suddenly realizes
F#m
that he's not as young as
he used to be.
D
It's called very simply,
When You Become a Man.
